This is unfortunate. :(
Alan: Does this mean that we will have to use a new CONFIG_ macro instead of testing is_sony_vaio_laptop? If so then I will submit a new patch with "#ifdef CONFIG_SONY_PNPBIOS"s in it and I'll let you futz with the kernel configuration files required to set this up.

There should be no numerically named entries in /proc/bus/pnp; you should see only the "devices" file and the "boot" directory. You should see numerically named entries in /proc/bus/pnp/boot for each device.
